Munster, Germany

Capital City

Munster is a sizable city of 322,904 people with an extensive urban footprint, but its population density remains relatively low. Despite the city's claims of being the "bicycle capital of Germany," the persistent rain and bureaucracy can be a headache for residents. Munster's large student population and historic charm may appeal to some, but the lack of an urban rail system and heavy reliance on cars make it a poor fit for those seeking a truly walkable, cosmopolitan city.
